purchase items on Tiki and ship to a vietnam address

[luukee 19]

Hello All! 

 

just wondering if anyone is currently living in Vietnam who is familiar with the tiki online shopping platform.  I wanted to signup for an account, but it requires a VN phone number to do so.  Do you know of any other way to purchase items on there and ship to an address in Saigon?

 

thank you!

I am not living there now but bought many things on TIKI, things are shipped COD mostly and they want you to pay in person. So is why they need a local number. I would just use the number of whomever you are shipping it to. Good Luck

Thanks for that Craig! I also looked at Lazada, which seemed like it would accept credit cards, but during checkout, it notified me that i need to "top it off due to insufficient funds" - not sure if it was due to my credit card security alert, or because maybe the way credit card work there as if they are debit cards.  Was hoping to surprise a friend of ours, so didn't want to use COD, but it makes sense as most people still pay by cash.  Thanks again for replying with information Craig!
